The NUJ FCT Chair also gave special commendation to members of the executive council for their unwavering commitment and strategic leadership, which, she noted, helped steer the Press Week to excellence.

Veteran journalists were not left out, as the Chairman expressed profound gratitude for their years of hard work, mentorship, and enduring commitment to the growth of the union.
